Previous Cooking Mama games required players to “cook” digital animal flesh-prompting a 2008 PETA parody game called Cooking Mama: Mama Kills Animals, which garnered 10 million page views (and led to 2 million views of video footage of turkeys being abused and killed in the meat industry).
The vegetarian option is a first for the Cooking Mama series. Go Nintendo released a PR email from the organization, detailing the award in length:Ĭincinnati - A Proggy Award (“Proggy” is for “progress”) is on its way from PETA to Planet Digital Partners in honor of its upcoming Cooking Mama: Cookstar game, which will include a “vegetarian mode” featuring 90 different meat-free recipes. However, this time they’re praising Cooking Mama: Cookstar with a “Proggy Award”. PETA often uses its platform to criticize games that go against their animal rights message. The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals made gaming headlines several times before the animal rights group gained infamy with parodies of Pokémon, Super Mario Bros, and (of course) Cooking Mama. Naturally, this was happy news for like-minded gamers, but this move also gained the attention of the infamous PETA. And, while Mama is not a vegetarian, she fully supports the humane treatment of animals."ĥ05 Games will be bringing Cooking Mama: World Kitchen to European Wiis next year.įresh-out-of-the-oven features include a proper 3D kitchen that Cooking Mama can throw burgers around in, plus loads more mini-games and even a rhythmical slant to boring chores such as chopping to keep them interesting.The Cooking Mama franchise’s upcoming return will feature a vegetarian option for those who chose to abstain from meat-based gameplay. Not so, retorted Majesco in a statement: "Cooking Mama World Kitchen includes more than 25 vegetarian-friendly recipes including delicious breakfast, dinner, dessert and snack options.
"Why is PETA picking on poor Mama? Because the games are so heavy on dishes made from dead animals that the only things missing are the blood and the slaughterhouse," argued PETA. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals made a browser-based parody of the culinary IP earlier this week, claiming the titular chef has a one-track mind. Majesco has rejected criticisms from animal rights group PETA over the amount of meat in Cooking Mama.
